FIG. 11 is an aberrational diagram according to a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the present invention relates to a small wide-angle lens system, wherein the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, and the sixth lens L6 are arranged from the focal object side along the optical axis, both surfaces of the first lens L1 are convex toward the focal object side, the center thickness Tc of the first lens L1 and the thickness Te of the outermost effective diameter of the first lens L1 satisfies 1.1<Tc/Te<1.5, the refractive power P1 of the first lens L1 satisfies −0.06<P1<0.06, and the second lens L2 has a positive refractive power; the front surface of the second lens L2 is convex toward the focal object side, the radius of curvature R4 at the rear of the second lens L2 satisfies 10<|R4|, and the third lens L3 has a negative refractive power; and the rear surface of the third lens L3 is concave toward the image side, the radius of curvature R5 of the front surface of the third lens L3 satisfies 10<|R5|, both surfaces of the fourth lens L4 are concave toward a focal object, the fifth lens L5 has a positive refractive power, the sixth lens L6 has a negative refractive power, the distance interval T12 within the effective diameter of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 satisfies T12<0.2 mm, and the spacing gap T23 within the effective diameter of the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 satisfies T23<0.1 mm.

These features allow each lens forming the lens system to have a positive and negative refractive power evenly distributed, enabling high performance suitable for a high pixel lens system.

In particular, both surfaces of the first lens L1 are convex toward the focal object side, and the center thickness Tc of the first lens L1 and the thickness Te of the outermost effective diameter of the first lens L1 satisfies 1.1<Tc/Te<1.5, and the refractive power P1 of the first lens L1 satisfies −0.06<P1<0.06.

That is, in the optical axis region, the lens system has very weak refractive power and the peripheral portion has positive refractive power, and both sides are convex toward the focal object side, so that the space in the barrel is secured to be suitable for the small lens system.

In addition, the second lens L2 has a positive refractive power, and its front surface is convex toward the focal object side, and the radius of curvature R4 of its rear surface satisfies 10<|R4|. That is intended to implement a small lens system by having a radius of curvature R4 larger than 10 mm and making the second lens L2 very close to the third lens L3.

In addition, the third lens L3 has a negative refractive power, and its rear surface is concave toward the image side, and the radius of curvature R5 of its front surface satisfies 10<|R5|. That is intended to implement a small lens system by having a radius of curvature R5 larger than 10 mm and making the second lens L2 very close to the third lens L3.

As a result, the distance interval T12 between the lenses within the effective diameter of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 satisfies T12<0.2 mm, and the distance interval T23 between the lenses within the effective diameter of the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 satisfies T23<0.1 mm. Thus, these lenses may be effectively applied to a very small lens system having a very short length.

In addition, the composite focal length f123 of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3, and the composite focus length f56 of the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 satisfies 0.4<f123/f56<0.8. This relationship sets value of a composite focal length of the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 with respect to the composite focal length of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3. Thus, the lens system may have a strong refractive power, leading to the miniaturization and the realization of wide angle.

In addition, both surfaces of the fourth lens L4 are concave toward the focal object side and have positive refractive power and the refractive power P4 satisfies 0<P4<0.1. Therefore, the aberration of the lens system is corrected to lead to miniaturization and realization of wide-angle.

In addition, the fifth lens L5 has a positive refractive power, the sixth lens L6 has a negative refractive power, and both surfaces of the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 are convex toward the image side at the periphery, thus easily correcting distortion and various aberrations. Therefore, it is suitable for a small wide-angle lens system to apply.

In addition, in order to correct chromatic aberration, the Abbe number V1 of the first lens L1, the Abbe number V2 of the second lens L2, the Abbe number V3 of the third lens L3, the Abbe number V4 of L4 of the fourth lens, the Abbe number V5 of the fifth lens L5, and the Abbe number V6 of the sixth lens L6 respectively satisfy 50<V1<60, 50<V2<60, 15<V3<30, 15<V4<30, 50<V5<60, and 50<V6<60. All surfaces of the first lens L1 to sixth lens L6 are aspherical. These Abbe numbers of each lens are evenly allocated to distribute power and to correct chromatic aberration.

In the lens system according to the present invention, the image surface height ImagH and the distance TTL from the front surface of the lens system to the image surface satisfy TTL/ImagH<1.45. Thus, short length small lens system is provided to be suitable to apply for small electronic devices such as a smartphone.

Besides, the angle of view of the lens system according to the present invention satisfies 78 degrees or more (the horizontal angle of view provides a wide-angle image between 78 and 130 degrees).

As described above, the present invention relates to a lens system composed of a total of six lenses, wherein the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, and the sixth lens L6 are arranged along the optical axis.

In addition, the present invention relates to a small wide-angle lens system in which the refractive power, shape, and the like of the lens are properly designed to correct the distortion and realize smallness and lightness, satisfying the horizontal angle of view of 78 degrees or more.

In particular, the height of the image surface and the distance from the front surface of the lens system to the image surface is smaller than 1.45 to provide a short lens system, so that it can be easily applied to thin or small camera modules such as a smartphone.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.
